The PA Report has confirmation from Microsoft Game Studios that Halo 4 is not coming to the PC, which isn't too surprising considering Halo 3 was never ported to the PC either. What's a little odd is the explanation, as a spokesperson tells them: "Halo 4 was designed specifically for Xbox 360, and while we’re always exploring new ways to expand the franchise and share the Halo experience with as many fans as possible, we do not currently have any plans to port Halo 4 to PC."

Fair enough. I guess I don't see the correlation, I played thousands of hours of WoW but the game had many flaws and not all of those hours were pure entertainment. I don't think BL2 was a bad game or something but I feel that it lacked in several areas and I can't say I cared for their health system which was literally a bit of everything. To retain some modicum of challenge with that they were forced to either inundate you with enemies or have absurd attack damage. I didn't really get much in between personally. Ammo had a greater impact on challenge than paying attention to shields/health did for me since I could just use second wind or get revived. A bit ironic because it wasn't the case until they got rid of most sources of ammo regen in the second game.

BL2 aside, I don't think either health system works universally but I generally do prefer fixed health drops to regenerating health. Thankfully many games let you turn it off but unfortunately it affects design and balance significantly.
